Definitions

  • One class of opto-electrical devices is that using an organic material for light emission or detection.
  • the basic structure of these devices is a light emissive organic layer, for instance a film of a poly (p-phenylenevinylene) (“PPV”) or polyfluorene, sandwiched between a cathode for injecting negative charge carriers (electrons) and an anode for injecting positive charge carriers (holes) into the organic layer.
  • PSV poly (p-phenylenevinylene)
  • polyfluorene sandwiched between a cathode for injecting negative charge carriers (electrons) and an anode for injecting positive charge carriers (holes) into the organic layer.
  • the electrons and holes combine in the organic layer generating photons.
  • the organic light-emissive material is a polymer.
  • the organic light-emissive material is of the class known as small molecule materials, such as (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium (“Alq3”).
  • small molecule materials such as (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium (“Alq3”).
  • Alq3 (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium
  • one of the electrodes is transparent, to allow the photons to escape the device.
  • a typical organic light-emissive device is fabricated on a glass or plastic substrate coated with a transparent anode such as indium-tin-oxide (“ITO”).
  • ITO indium-tin-oxide
  • a layer of a thin film of at least one electroluminescent organic material covers the first electrode.
  • a cathode covers the layer of electroluminescent organic material.
  • the cathode is typically a metal or alloy and may comprise a single layer, such as aluminium, or a plurality of layers such as calcium and aluminium.
  • holes are injected into the device through the anode and electrons are injected into the device through the cathode.
  • the holes and electrons combine in the organic electroluminescent layer to form an exciton which then undergoes radiative decay to give light.
  • the hole injecting layer may comprise a conductive polymer such as PEDOT:PSS.
  • the hole transport layer may comprise a semiconductive polymer such as a copolymer of fluorene and triarylamine repeat units.
  • the organic light-emissive layer may comprise a small molecule, a dendrimer or a polymer and may comprise phosphorescent moieties and/or fluorescent moieties.
  • blends in an opto-electrical device was proposed to have several advantages over the provision of multiple layers of material, it has been found that there are several problems with the use of blends in opto-electrical devices. It can be difficult to control the structure and properties of a blend. For example, the inter-mixing of materials in a blend can be difficult to control and may be unstable due to movement of chemical species within the blend, particularly when a device is driven. Provision of the different species in a single molecule can help to prevent differential movement of the species during driving of the device. However, multiple component polymers can be more difficult to make.
  • cross-linkable, hole transporting monomers can be mixed with light-emissive monomers, polymerised to form a polymer which has both the hole transporting monomers and the light-emissive monomers therein, deposited, and then cross-linked to form a light emissive layer on which an electron transporting layer can be deposited without dissolving the light-emissive layer.
  • Bozano et al J. Appl. Phys. 2003, 94(5), 3061-3068 discloses cross-linked two-component blends for organic light-emitting devices.
  • the present inventors have realized that it would be desirable to provide an arrangement in which the beneficial features of using a blend are present, but where the detrimental features are avoided.
  • the first and second polymers are different.
  • stable morphology can be achieved by using a functional group to cross-link between polymers in an organic film, i.e. to achieve a single cross-linked matrix comprising two or more polymers in a blend.
  • a functional group to cross-link between polymers in an organic film, i.e. to achieve a single cross-linked matrix comprising two or more polymers in a blend.
  • this can be a rather crude method and the chemistry used is very often indiscriminate resulting in ill-defined structures. The indiscriminate nature of the chemistry could also mean that one has little control over the process.
  • the other of the charge transporting polymer and the light-emissive polymer is also cross-linked providing a second cross-linked matrix which is disposed through the first cross-linked matrix as a continuous phase, whereby the first cross-linked matrix and the second cross-linked matrix provide an interpenetrating network. Again, there is little or no cross-linking between the two polymers.
  • WO 2006/043087 involves the separate deposition of two layers; a hole transport layer and a light-emissive layer, in order to provide a stable system.
  • a blend of two cross-linkable systems, or one cross-linkable and one non-cross-linkable system provides a stable blend morphology whilst depositing organic material only once.

  • the partially crosslinked first polymer provides a surface that is stable against dissolution, and yet provides a laterally porous structure into which the charge transporting and/or light-emissive material is at least partially absorbed before being “locked in” by the further crosslinking step.
  • the opto-electrical device is an organic light-emitting device comprising an organic light emitting layer.
  • the first and second charge transporting materials are hole transporting materials.
